The prediction market space just witnessed something remarkable last month. Two major platforms reached unprecedented milestones that nobody saw coming.

Both giants crushed their previous records in November—trading volume and transaction counts went absolutely wild. One platform even crossed the 500K monthly active users threshold for the first time ever.

Meanwhile, the funding game got serious. One of these players just closed a massive $1 billion round, landing at an $11 billion valuation. That's not just money—it's a clear signal that institutional players are betting big on prediction markets becoming mainstream.

The real question now: which platform actually delivers better for traders? Data shows strength on both sides, but user experience might be the ultimate differentiator here.
